Abby Bello is a working class lady and the Vice President of a corporate company and during her anniversary celebration, she gets called into the office by her boss to go through a few errors found in the company's yearly report. When she gets back home, she encounters her colleague, Brume (Blossom Chukwujekwu), her brother Segun (Gbenro Ajibade) and her husband Tony (Alex Ekubo) and before the day ends, Abby is found dead in her home. The police launch an investigation into her death by arresting suspects that had motives for wanting her dead and it becomes a case of "whodunnit". Catch.er boasts of an ensemble cast and they all delivered in their respective roles especially O. C. Ukeje. He has come such a long way after winning the Amstel Malta Box Office in 2006 and I always look forward to seeing any movie he stars in. Alex Ekubo has also improved so much in his acting and I really have to commend him on that. Beverly Naya and and Blossom Chukwujekwu never disappoint so it's no surprise how fantastic they were in Catch.er. Wofai Fada was a great comic relief and I'm really glad she's getting movie roles. Omowunmi Dada also plays her role as Ese so well, I wish we got more of her.

One thing I really loved about this film was the way it was filmed and how they captured so many angles. There were a lot of flashbacks but it flowed really well with the story, although I didn't really like the song that went the murder scene. I wish they picked something that sounded intense. It had a satisfying ending but I wish we got more of the killer to better understand why he committed the crime. It's not a perfect film but the little errors don't change the fact that it was good film that was worth every penny. I'm really glad, that Nollywood filmmakers are breaking the norm and exploring other genres. We need more movies like this in our Cinemas.

SUITS: Season 6 finale

The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey. Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I cried for two episodes straight) which means

Review- Who's The Boss (2020)

Directed by Chinaza Onuzo, "Who's The Boss" follows Liah (Sharon Ooja) , an Advertising Executive who struggles to climb the cooperate ladder while juggling her mean and vindictive boss Hauwa (Funke Akindele- Bello). She takes the advice of her best friend Jumoke (Ini Dima-Okojie) and enlists her friend Lekan (Blossom Chukwujekwu), a known play boy into posing as her boss but ends up falling for him. It doesn't get any more cliche than this. After watching the first teaser for the Inkblot comedy, I was a little intrigued and looked forward to seeing how they were going to pull it off but sadly, it fell short in more ways than one. The biggest issue I had was the lead character and the actress cast to play it. Ooja has been typecast and I thought seeing her as the lead would show us a different side to the actress but my perception of her acting skills are worse than before. There's nothing worth remembering about this story and her acting did nothing to el
